The just audible bird call of a juvenile Magpie robin in our courtyard alerted me to go out to spot the bird.
At the other end of rhetoric cable an adult Magpie robin was responding to the call. It appeared to be hiding the juvenile bird in its movements.
The juvenile bird found a prey and perched in another cable.
I noticed the earlier adult bird now perched to have the visibility of the juvenile bird.
Another adult bird was on another cable above the feeding station attentively listening to the bird calls and movements.
This scene was a good illustration of parenting practice of a Magpie robin family!
The parenting presence of adult Magpie robin birds to a juvenile bird!
What a sight of enabling and watchful accompaniment!
For a few days now, there were movements of Magpie robins in our courtyard. When I watched the sight above, I wondered if they nested in our garden.
I remember seeing three Magpie robins perched in the clothesline in our backyard to g=feel protected when it was raining one night!
This is one another delight of living in a cottage surrounded by a garden around. The avian life find the garden as their home.
A red vented Bulbul at the feeding table was attentive to the bird calls and tracking the movements of the Magpie robins in the garden !
The juvenile bird was in its weaning phase of finding its own rhythm of movements and self feeding. But the adult birds were keeping a vigil!
This was a good way of beginning a day!
